As Randy Bean makes abundantly clear in \u003ci\u003eFail Fast, Learn Faster\u003c\/i\u003e, this crossing is by no means smooth. Through a wonderful hoard of business anecdotes, he shows over and over again that the challenge of becoming a data-driven business has little to do with the Big Data itself, and is only marginally about mastering the technology needed to harness it. Rather, it is primarily about leadership teams finding forcing functions that can drive massive change in the roles, processes, and systems that make up their enterprise. For some the forcing function will be regulatory demands, for others a global market demanding draconian cost reductions, for others an emerging competitive threat from digital disrupters, and for still others, a mission to solve customer problems that cannot be addressed by conventional means. As a reader of Randy's book, it is your job to determine the forcing function that will drive change through your organization and to draw upon his wealth of examples to navigate your way forward.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eGEOFFREY MOORE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Author of \u003ci\u003eCrossing the Chasm\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eZone to Win\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Inspiring, terrifying, but always usefully instructive, Randy Bean even-handedly lays out the indisputable case for why every organization needs a 'Big Data strategy, ' and what it takes to build and act on it.

But most important, they must also be prepared to steer an often-resistant enterprise in what can be an entirely new direction, and this is where the fail fast\/learn faster discipline is vital.
